three amigos are here

[willvine]

Hi all.

I have checked all wheel sensors, brake pads, all fuses, CDL actuator, and all conections to the ABS modulator and brake servo. All seem to be ok.


But I seem to have reduced braking capability and the three lights are still on ( TC, ABS, HDC).

I can only put it down to a stuffed modulator. is there any thing else i can check and how much am i expected to pay for a new modulator

thanks.

You will have reduced braking with the 3 Amigos on. You need to have the fault codes read to pinpoint the problem. May be just something simple like a wheel sensor being erratic. You won't be able to see anything obvious with a problem like that. The modulator will cost you a 'bomb' and it may be just something simple. The code reading is a cheaper alternative to guessing.

Sometimes it can only be a communications fault and not anything faulty, try doing a fault clear.

This is done by starting the car;

then turn ignition off

open drivers door

pull key from ignition

put key back in ignition

close drivers door

restart car

If this doesn't work you'll need to take it too someone to have it read to see what fault code comes up, if it's only a communications fault then it's only a matter of clearing the fault and your on your way, most of the time this is the case but sometimes it can be a faulty or dirty wheel sensor or dirt in the connection of the sensor, these are located in the wheel arch at the rear and under the bonnet on the wheel arch in the front, pull them apart and clean them with carby or contact cleaner.
